Following the trailer - which is nearing 400,000 views - Liverpool's Mayor Joe Anderson told the Liverpool Echo: “I wasn’t impressed at all with what I've seen and I think people are absolutely right, it does rely on old stereotypes about Liverpool.

“I don't think there are any Oscars going to be given for it and I think it’s one of those things to be laughed at rather than taken seriously. Maybe it should be on the Comedy Channel!”
